The picture shows a dough that has plenty of strength but not enough extensibility. Without more information, it's not possible to diagnose any further. Please detail, formula and method.
Milk doesn't hydrate like water does. Actual hydration is low, hence the strength and lack of extensibility. Without altering the formula your options would be to either knead more, or incorporate an autolyse of at least an hour.

Recipe:
300g bread flour
135g water
70g milk
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp yeast
15g butter
As for how I shaped it, I rolled a dough portion out into a sort of rectangle shape, then folded 1/3 of the side in, and folded in the other side, then rolled it up. Like this: http://eightypercenthomemade.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/shaping-homemade-japanese-style-bread-loaf/ but I rolled it up.
Thanks!

says and an extra 12 g of water to add in with the salt after the autolyse wouldn't hurt any either.... then the yeast goes in.
